    Scheels in little Elm has them regularly. Hit or miss as to which ones, and usually only one kind.

    Starting to see them show up regularly at gun shows but the prices are well over $100/1k. From what I've gathered from people who should know, prices should be somewhere around $60 or so per 1K. That's a lot more than they were a few years ago, but prices have gone up severely. Just not $125 a box severely - that is just price gouging.

    Look at Midway, Brownells, Graf and Sons, Natchez, and Powder Valley and you will see them once every month or 2. Lately they've been $90 per 1000. This is for small rifle specifically, but I assume others are available periodically as well.

    I was at the Ft Worth Cabela's last Friday and they had 3 bricks of Magnum Large Pistol in stock. I did not see the price since I didn't need that size and didn't bother asking. They did have a bunch of powder in stock.

    Cabela’s in El Paso had Federal Small pistol, small rifle, and Magnum large rifle in stock two weeks ago. $10 for 100.

    I’m still holding out.

    Found some SPP for 12.00/100 so I passed. Coincidentally , I go home and open a coffee can I think contains rifle parts. Found one brick of a 1000 CCI SPP and one brick of 1000 LRP. Both were marked at +/- $10.00 per brick.

    I haven't gotten any from Scheels in the Colony in 3 years. When I am there they have a lot of high priced ammo and basicly no reloading supplies.

    I’ve been to that store 5 times and they had primers there 3 of those times. Yep, the ammo is pricey.

    I didn't know there was a Scheel's in Little Elm and the Colony. That makes little sense. Never been to either and haven't bought or even looked for primers in years. I will not pay $0.12 per primer ever. NEVER. Defeats more than half the purpose of reloading. The other half of the purpose is preservation so I will shoot OEM or nothing to save my ability to be self-supportive.

    Was curious on what I paid the last time I stocked up on primers so went digging through old emails for the orders. $130 for 5000 small pistol primers. Feeling of relief I stocked up when I did and disgusted at the current situation all at the same time.

    Kinda like gas, depends if you need it. With shipping and hazmat bought a brick of CCI small pistol mag for about $134. Limited to 1K purchase. Stinks but at least available.

    They've been showing up regularly in our local Academy. Weird(ish) stuff like SR Magnums and LR Magnums - but I use them all, so I've been buying them.

    So I guess it's like I bought 50K gallons of gas at $1.65 per three years ago and now I take the bus.
